Fish Food

I fed my fish a spider

I thought it might be fun

It sped across the water

And made me turn and run

It made me feel so frightened

I ran and screamed some more

So now I am enlightened

I will do this no more

The moral of this ditty

Is try to remain good

Always show humanity

When feeding fish their food

  7. We could have sliced spider open, choosing its most delicate parts, and fried it with onion and fresh veggies. Nah – I’ll bet that spider was probably a delicious change from stinky fish flakes:) Loved it peneolopephoebe! Thank you kindly for vising my site. -J.

      • I just had to come back and thank you so much for highlighting my blog on Onestop. It was most gracious of you! You commented on a recent post saying, “You certainly make me think”. I cannot thank you enough for such a warm comment. It is that very comment that keeps me reading the work of others and in doing so – inspires me to write. I do not have the time now (that school has begun) to spend online reading as I did so much of back in August, but I look forward to reading more of your blog, and the many others featured on Onestop. Thanks again –

        Daniel Jay.

      • I spoke honestly about your work, Daniel, though I am quite discerning about who I would highlight:>)
